Activity Report for the Month of May 2021
For our May 2021 report, we are pleased to share with you the incredible success stories of two of our beneficiaries from the Hope Alive Foundation (HAFA) Charity School Project: Laye and Favour. We also share the report from Mah Di’s Christian Bilingual Nursery and Primary School (CBNPS).
Laye is a 6 years old internally displaced child who hails from Bom Village in the North West region. Like many internally displaced persons, Laye’s parents were forced to relocate to Tiko in the South West Region after their house got burnt down due to the Anglophone Crisis. Due to the crisis, Laye had not gone to school for the past three years. During the identification of orphans and vulnerable children for the Hope Alive Foundation (HAFA) Charity School Project, HAFA identified Laye and his brothers and they got admitted at HAFA Charity school for the 2020/2021 Academy year. Laye was admitted into nursery one. At the beginning of the school year, he could not speak in the English Language as he could only speak his mother tongue and pidgin English. He could not also write and always got laughed at by other children. Today, we are pleased at how much progress Laye had made as he can now write and speak in the English Language. This is thanks to the continuous follow-up of his class teacher and the entire staff of HAFA.
Like Laye, Nan Favour is a-10 years old IDP from Bamessing in the North West Region who got relocated with his parents to Tiko. Due to the crisis, she too had not gone to school for the past four years. Favour demonstrated great interest in school though her parents could not afford to pay her school fees. So HAFA identified her as a vulnerable child and got her registered at the HAFA Charity School in February 2021. Because she could neither write nor speak the English Language, Favour was registered under junior primary in class four. Favour’s story is one of resilience and passion as she showed strong interest in her books and is today capable of writing and speaking the English language just after a few months in school. Though she still faces challenges in acquiring her school needs such as uniforms and textbooks, she remains committed and her case inspires hope for other children. In addition to Laye and Favour’s stories, we are proud to let you know HAFA registered 17 children for the Government Common Entrance Examination into Form One and the school had 100% with all the children passing in List A. The third best pupil for Tiko Sub Division came from HAFA.
